Just as it appeared as if the Florida Gators were heading to a quarterback battle in season, the head coach Dan MullenThe options now seem limited. Redshirt second year QB Kyle Trask suffered a contactless injury during Wednesday's training session, according to 247SportsThomas Goldkamp, ​​who reported that Trask had been injured in a "lower limb" and had been dragged off the field.

A few hours after the report, the father of the quarterback, Michael Trask, wrote on Facebook that his son had fractured the foot at the normal pace of the tests.

"Gator Nation, I'm sad to say that Kyle was injured today in training while he was playing a tricky trick by posing as the RB before going for a pbad. The throw to Kyle was weak and when he stepped to catch the pbad, he felt a pop, "Michael wrote. Orlando Sentinel"Edgar Thompson.

"Unfortunately, he's fractured his foot and will be out for the season. Just a monster injury. The good news is that it will be a minor operation and that it will be 100% for the spring ball in 2019. Thanks for all my wishes and support to Kyle, we thank you very much! Keep praying for Kyle's recovery. "

Kyle Trask, who succeeded a clbadmate Franks Felepe Last week, on his homecoming, the Florida team lost to Missouri in the second leg, was ranked behind Franks on the depth chart released by the Gators this week, but it should expect a Florida's long Saturday action against South Carolina. Mullen said this week that he could play two, even three quarters in the game.

Trask completed 10 of 18 pbades for 126 yards and a touchdown against Mizzou, although Mullen said he and Franks had been ranked at one point after watching the movie. . This is by far the most comprehensive action Trask has seen with Florida, having already completed four out of four pbades for 36 yards with a ground touchdown in two games earlier this season. Trask has been touted as a real freshman and missed the entire 2017 campaign by recovering from a foot injury. We do not know if this fracture is the same.

With Trask out Gamebads and for the rest of the season, it will be interesting to see what Mullen does with his quarterbacks.

First-year student Emory Jones has already played two games this season and can therefore play an action in two other competitions while preserving his redshirt and a year of eligibility. The Gators do not play for a national title, a SEC title, or for a game of New Year's balls, it does not make sense to burn Jones' red garment. Mullen was expected to give Jones the next two games so he could see the action in Florida State's final and bowling, but that could shatter his plans.

Franks could see all the action with Florida live or die with him under center, Mullen could use one of Jones' latest games to get immediate action, or Mullen could be creative in the offensive, possibly using a second year student. Kadarius Toney with more direct shots in the backfield in addition to Franks.

As far as Trask is concerned, it is the best scenario for a potentially bad situation. It does not appear that his 2019 campaign is in danger, even though he is competing for the starting position with Franks and Jones, that fans – and probably coaches – hope to see spring and summer grow. to become the starter of the team. Mullen has already hired a quarterback for 2019 and will probably want to add another one, which means Trask could be very far down on the depth chart if he does not recover quickly from this injury.

The Gators did not release an official diagnosis, and the team did not comment on Trask's status.
